and toward you to disengage the hinge supports.
4. Keep pulling the bottom of the door toward you while
rotating the top of the door toward the appliance to
completely disengage the hinge levers

Special Door Care Instructions
Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Follow these
recommendations:
• Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully
in place inside the oven cavity.
• Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.
• Scratching, hitting, jarring, or stressing the glass may
weaken its structure causing an increased risk of breakage
at a later time.
